Let us help you get on the road to a better quality of life through good sleep!

{Sleep is} the golden chain that ties our health and our bodies together
-Thomas Dekker


Late summer of 2008, Nancy Tuscano, RRT, a 32 year resident in the Yuba City area, began working as a Respiratory Therapist at Sierra Nevada Hospital. Previously, she had successfully managed a DME company for 13 years in the Yuba-Sutter area called Pacific Pulmonary Services. She saw that the Nevada City-Grass Valley area did not have a facility in which to test for sleep disorders. We found a quiet, secluded, serene location in the fall of 2008 and opened a sleep diagnostic center. Our sleep study suites feature soothing spa-like decor, one room has a Serta Pillow Top mattress and one has a Sleep Number bed, fine linens, flat-screen TVs with remotes, down comforters and pillows. Because most sleep facilities are very clinical in appearance, we felt people would relax and sleep better in a comfortable environment. The Nevada City/Grass Valley residents and physicians are very pleased with the services we have provided for the past three years and continue to support us.

We are pleased to announce that Sierra Sleep Diagnostics has opened up a new lab in the Yuba-Sutter area and with a great deal of hard work, long days and nights as well as with the help of wonderful friends and employees, we opened our doors on January 15, 2012. We are located near downtown Plumas Street at 565 Reeves Ave in Yuba City. Unlike Nevada City, Yuba City does have other sleep labs available to the public. However, this is another option for the patients and their physicians in the immediate area to choose from. Exactly like our Nevada City sleep lab, the Yuba City sleep lab has all the comforts and décor including security, Sleep Number Beds, fine linens, down comforters and flat screen TVs with remotes.

Sierra Sleep Diagnostics performs all sleep disorder studies using state of the art equipment identical to a hospital based lab. For the patient's convenience we always try to do the complete study, called a "split night", in one night whenever possible if the patient is positive and meets criteria in time to treat with PAP therapy. We are also able to provide home study units for patients who are unable to be away from home. In addition to sleep studies we help patients with CPAP and mask problems. We also provide PapNaps which is a four to six hour daytime limited study to acclimate patients to use the right mask and the right pressure for their machine.

We are pleased to introduce our medical director, Kimberly Hardin, M.D., American Board Certified in Sleep Medicine, Professor of Pulmonology UCDMC. Dr. Hardin provides us with immense support, continued education, and great interaction with our professional staff which includes Nancy Tuscano, RRT, Anthony Sunseri, RPSGT, and Cynthia Phillips, RPSGT. Last but not least, we have the pleasure of Valerie Rabak who keeps us organized. She is our office and billing manager.
